Hollywood Hearts

Twenty Two

"What the fuck, Lucille?! Why are you here?!" I growled at the woman, but she shook her head and rubbed her stomach.

"J, the baby-"

"I know damn well that's not my kid! Don't try that bullshit! What are you doing here?!" I snapped and she looked shocked.

"You-you said if I ever needed-"

"Yeah, and not to bother us after we moved! God, I told you to back the fuck off and live on your own!" I snapped, but Dylan grabbed my arm and glared.

"Go to Perse, we've got this." He said and I nodded, turning to go.

"SHE'S A WHORE!" Lucille yelled and I turned to her then glared, getting in her face.

"Perse had a rough patch, we all go through them, but don't you EVER call her that again if you value-"

"JOREL!" Reese yelled and I huffed, clenching my fists as I turned and went to the bedroom, softly shutting the door behind me and seeing the crying form of my angel on the bed.

"Baby, it's not-"

"Get out." She sniffled, but I sighed and went towards her, kneeling down on the ground and grabbing her shoulder.

"I said-"

"Lucille is a crazy ex, that's it, but I haven't seen her since before we moved into this house. I can promise, she's not my mistress or anything resembling a friend, she's nothing to me-"

"You can't lie to me." She cut me off and I sighed, grabbing her hand and putting it over my heart, letting her feel my steady heartbeat. It soothed her to do this so she knew I wasn't lying.

"Baby girl, you're the only woman in my life and Gianni is the only kid I have." I told her the truth and saw her brown eyes flick to my face as she felt my heartbeat.

"I swear, Lucille is a crazy ex I've been trying to shake for a while." I said and she slowly sat up, sliding her hand up my chest and sniffling as she held my cheek.

"I-I'm sorry-"

"I understand, beautiful." I whispered and stood, leaning down to softly kiss her.

"I love you and Gianni, and only you two, no one else." I said and she nodded as I grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet.

"Hey, I love you." I whispered and she smiled as she held my shirt.

"I love you too, but don't ever cheat-"

"I'd rather cut my own dick off first." I laughed and she softly hummed.

"Mm, I like that too much to let that happen." She said and I swallowed hard as she went around me and left the room.

"We're here with Hollywood Undead and my, do we have an interview!" The woman said then she looked immediately to me.

"J-Dog, a few weeks ago, a magazine was released and your partner, Persephone Jones, was seen with-"

"She's my fiancée, and yes, she's pregnant with my daughter." I said and she looked surprised as the guys cheered.

"Gianni Decker is going to have some crazy uncles!" Charlie said and the woman grinned.

"So you two are going to be married before the baby is born then?" She asked and I sighed.

"We're hoping to be, yes, but life has this way of messing with my plans." I said and she looked confused.

"Can I ask what you mean?" She asked and I laughed softly.

"When I first met Perse, my intention was to keep it purely professional. Life threw a wrench in that plan, and now I'm happily engaged to the love of my life." I said and she nodded.

"And what of your ex, Vanessa-"

"She's happy, I'm happy, and I haven't spoken to her in years." I said and she frowned.

"Even if she's claiming you hurt her-"

"Did she say that? Were those words spoken from Vanessa's mouth?" I asked and she looked dumbfounded.

"Well, no, but her family-"

"Her family never liked me, and if she didn't say it, then that's not true." I said and looked at my phone as it rang, seeing it was Perse.

"Excuse me." I said and stood, setting my mic down as I answered the call.

"Perse?"

"Jo-Jorel?!" I heard her sobbing then I gripped my phone tighter.

"Hello, Jorel Decker!" The voice laughed and I grit my teeth.

"Candy!" I snarled, staring at a spot in the wall.

"I see you two are just so happy with each other! You have thirty minutes to get here, or you can kiss Gianni and Persephone goodbye." She said then hung up and I turned, going to the interview.

"J-"

"Johnny, I have to go." I said and he gave me a silent nod.

"Go, see if she's good." He said and I nodded, sending him a text so he would know the whole story as I ran to my car. When I got in, I called the cops to have them on the way just in case.

"Come on!" I yelled at traffic, swerving in and out of the cars to try and be there.

Perse's POV
"Let's see if he really loves you!" Candy laughed then looked at her gun.

"It'd be a damn shame to just... oops, right into your stomach!" She laughed then I flinched as she puled the trigger, though the blank just popped in the gun.

"Not that bullet!" She laughed, glaring as I winced when Gianni kicked my stomach again.

"Shh, baby, you're okay!" I rubbed my stomach softly then looked up at Candy.

"You're insane!" I yelled, looking at the door as it slammed open and J stood there.

"Jorel!" I happily breathed and he smiled as he looked at me, glaring at Candy.

"Let her and my baby go, please!" He said and Candy giggled.

"Let them go?! I created Persephone Jones!" She growled and glared at me, aiming the gun at me as the final bullet sat in the chamber.

"I made her, slept with that vile man just to ensure she became something good, I worked so hard to make this woman perfect! And you ruined it! I've only got one bullet, but I'm sure a shot in the heart will kill mother and child before the cops get here!" She laughed and I felt ice cold fear race down my spine as Jorel jumped at Candy, the gun going off.

"JOREL!"
